It's the Day of Defenders of Ukraine.
The day honors the men and women valiantly fighting for Ukraine's freedom, sovereignty, and future.
Their courage is not only extraordinary. It is rooted in generations of resistance from a centuries-long fight for the right to exist.
While much of the world witnesses Russia's brutal aggression through headlines and screens, Ukrainian defenders come face-to-face with the consequences of that aggression every day.
They continue to hold the line against a common adversary.
And in defending their homeland, they also protect the security of allies worldwide. In the face of relentless attacks, they have shown remarkable resilience, sacrifice, and determination.
Spirit of America is proud to stand with them. #SlavaUkraini #DefendersDayUkraine
